Fast update

So I think I've done pretty good with my departure from cable tv.  Apart from the periodic clips here and there I catch when Shelby is watching a program or the news I feel that I've been able to do some really good things with my time.  Not to forget that I have missed a few shows that I was hoping to see (wipeout in particular)

Monday evening I made an Italian like soup with squash, zucchini, and venison sausage based off a recipe Serena gave us a while back.  It was delish. (and I made enough for multiple lunches on the go etc for the next few days so I can save time and money by eating better)

Tuesday night our softball team had a game and boy was it fun.  Although when we started we thought we might not even have enough players to start, but finishing the game 13-4 with time expiring proved to be a blast.  Hurricane Alex brought in some clouds to dampen the heat so it was good weather (at least for Texas).  I had an awesome game batting 4-4 with 7 rbi's and a home run (in park).  We came home and Shelby got a much needed body rub from me then we both read some books and dozed off.

Not focusing on tv has also helped me out in the mornings to actually get stuff done.  I'm 3 for 3 on taking the dogs for a morning jog (which helps them out so much to rid some energy for the day), and I've been able to focus on more things like making the bed and loading/unloading the dishwasher.

I know some ppl think I'm crazy, especially Joe, because I run barefoot or because I try to drive my car the least possible (with no a/c) but I think that mastering these kinds of self discipline set forth a more richer life experience.  I'm just saying. . .

Way to go! Sounds like you're enjoying the change. The soup sounds really yummy! We will have to get the recipe. We love hearing about what's going on in your life! I'm looking forward to the baby shower, and getting to see Shelby this weekend!

Way to go on the no cable lifestyle. It's been easier for Dave to not watch TV lately because all the sports stink right now. But come Aggie football season, it will be hard for you!
